That habit causes wrinkles. Don't

greatest lroner out of wrinkles. Cor
rect tho bad habits that have caused
them. Live simply. Nothing brings
wrinkles sooner than dissipation and
late hours.
When small, fine lines begin to
appear, putting cold cream well Into
the affected area should help to
drive them away. Ironing that por
tion of the face with small lumps of
Ice covered with cotton or gauze Is a
good remedy If you persist In It.
A method In general use In the
beauty parlors of Paris, and that
has been Introduced recently In this
country, Is to spray the wrinkle area
with cool qr cold water. If you
have not a wrlnklo spray, a large
perfume atomizer will serve the
same end.
When your skin seems loose and
Inclined to form into folds use one
of tho following remedies;
Dip a bit of absorbent cotton Into
glycerine and pat It well Into the
wrinkle bed, Or apply cologne water
In the same way. In a short time
you can decide which Is the better
adapted to your skin. Glycerine,
while a food and stimulant to some
kin. Is an IrriUnt to others.

Apply peroxide of hydrogen to

not only bleach the hairs, making
them less noticeable, but It should
weaken them so that the root should

You cannot prevent the growth of
hair unless you destroy the roots,
and electrolysis, though not always
successful, Is more often efficacious
than any other remedy.

Eat no rich nor greasy food. Drink
much water between meals and on
rising and resting. Take at least
once a day a teaspoonful of equal
parts of sulphur and cream of tartar.
Such a course, pursued for a few
weeks, should clear your skin.
Avoid pressing the pimples unless It
becomes necessary. When It does,
press them gently either with a

out with fingers, wrapped around
with cotton or a clean handkerchief.
If the skin remains red for two
